Vectorworks Architect 2017

VECTORWORKS ARCHITECT FEATURES

Vectorworks Architect 2017 is architectural CAD software that offers Open BIM capabilities in a flexible design environment. Designing in 2D and 3D simultaneously, Vectorworks Architect offers an ease of use and intuitive functionality. Its set of hybrid tools include standard building shell components, all of which have relevant information included. Used widely by architects and interior designers, Vectorworks Architect offers the complete suite of tools and libraries of components to put together concept models, 3D visuals, detailed plans and sections, and all the necessary schedules needed to complete the project.

Vectorworks Architect’s approach to open BIM is not prescriptive and will complement your existing design process instead of replacing it. So, if you still want to draw 2D lines, you can!

Vectorworks Architect 2017 is a huge new release. Further improvements in 3D work enable you to create concept models directly in 3D, with an edit history which blurs the boundaries between 2D and 3D drafting and modelling. The Curtain Wall capability and a further makeover of the Window and Door tools make it even easier to design complex and unique models, adhering to Open BIM standards as you work. Add changes to the OpenGL engine and Renderworks, and you'll be able to show hatches on the surface of a model, as well as sketchy edges on a photorealistic render.

If open BIM is not important for your practice, don't be alarmed! The benefits of the 2D/3D design environment will be perfect for any design practice, including interior designers. The large set of libraries will enable fast creation of plans and visuals. Coupled with Renderworks, you can create a plans, sections, elevations and lit and rendered visuals within one application. For cabinet and kitchen designers, we strongly recommend a look at Interiorcad as a powerful time-saving add-on to Vectorworks Architect.
